Another nicely done chapter.
Something tells me that Alcina may have something up her sleeve about this arranged marriage, though not really sure what it could be. I wonder where her mother is? She seemed such a stickler for protocol.
Anyway 9/10 and moving on.

Once again you've produced another nice chapter.
Somehow I get the feeling that there's more to Alcina's subdued manner than meets the eye. One or two points from the chapter.
Letters are received about the 11 year old mark. And if her father was born in 1979 and died in 1998 he would only have been 7 years old when Alcina was born. And the train departs at 11am.
9/10 and must move on.

Author's Response: Thanks for the memo, I guess I didn't think about it, I'll have to revise that bit.

I'm really starting to take a dislike towards Belinda. To try and contain a free spirit like Alcina is just asking for trouble. Free spirits have a way of breaking free in a spectacular way.
Another good chapter and 10/10. Moving on.

Author's Response: a 10? I'm filled with Joy. I don't like Belinda either.

I can't help but feel sorry for Alcina (nice name). She's grown up in a world of being dominated by a strong willed mother, and she has my every sympathy.
I liked the start of this story, you highlighted a subject about parental control very nicely. I could feel the hatred Alcina felt towards her controlling mother.
I must move on, so 9/10 and onto the next chapter.

Author's Response: I'm glad you enjoyed the story and I'm so happy one of my readers picked up on the parental controls.

I really like this story, I would love to see where you take it, I am very sure it could be incredible

Author's Response: Well, I think I have decided to end it. I'm probably going to edit it, but I am glad that you liked it. I may write a sequel (It would also have knows best in the title) and I encourage you to keep your eyes open for it. Thank you for all your reviews, they are much appreciated.

Author's Response: Glad you like it! I'm working on chapter 3 now and hopefully will have it in the queue sometime tomorrow. However, I'll tell you a little bit about it: Its basically a trip down memory lane for Alcina, though i'm not sure how I'm ending it yet. Thanks for your review.
